Sailor Moon Defenders

By AmandaDoE

Chapter Thirty-Six: Finishing Sequence

"You are the last person I wanted to see right now!" Flash exclaimed in anger. He was still mad at her for causing Rick's fast progression of his mutations. He glanced at his daughter and could tell that she was feeling the same way.

"The same goes for me!" April added, conforming his thoughts. They both tried going for her with hand guns. However, Mandrake stopped him while LJ was able to stop April.

"Mandrake, let go!" Flash exclaimed. "Cathleen's the reason my son is slowly becoming a monster!"

"She has to pay!" April added. "She can't away with this!"

"I know and I don't condone her actions either and I never did!" Mandrake exclaimed. "But this is not the way to deal with the situation!"

"Why is that?" April asked.

"Well, didn't I stop that girl from killing you?" Cathleen quipped.

"That's irrelevant right now." Flash replied, annoyed.

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

Sailor Tin Nyanko ignored the arguing between the teammates as she sensed something incredible nearby.

"Well," she stated to herself, "I can sense extraordinary energy. Rick Gordon is nearby."

She hurried out of the room to search for her target, doing whatever it took to deliever the one known as Rick Gordon and his Quasanite powers to Lady Galaxia.

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

Usagi glanced over in surprise. "She got away!"

Everyone looked to see that Sailor Tin Nyanko had vanished from sight.

"She's probably going after Rick." Ami stated in surprise.

"That means Jedda is in danger as well!" the Phantom exclaimed in shock.

"We have to get moving and fast!" Yaten exclaimed.

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

Jedda opened her eyes, startled as she was sensing something. She looked as Rick was resting quietly in the make shift cot in his cell.

She stood up, preparing for anything that was about to come her way. "Something is coming. I can sense it."

Suddenly, a burst of energy appeared and a strange cat like humanoid appeared mid air. "Meow!"

"You're another one of Galaxia's soldiers!" she exclaimed.

"What the?!" Rick exclaimed in surprise, getting up.

"That's right!" the stranger exclaimed. "I am Sailor Tin Nyanko and I am here for your boyfriend's powers!"

"Jedda, be careful!" Usagi shouted as the heroes arrived in the room.

"Looks like we are in for a long battle." Makoto stated.

"Galactica Puppet!"

Jedda managed to tap into the Necklace of Oros to protect herself and Rick from the enemy's attack. Lothar tried to use his super strength to beat down the opponent only to be knocked down in the process. LJ then tried his martial arts skills on his opponent and met the same result.

"That was a stupid attempt!" Lothar stated.

"I'll say." LJ added.

The two fired their hand guns at Sailor Tin Nyanko as did Flash and April. It wasn't doing any good as she was only deflecting the blasts.

"Nothing we do seems to be working!" April exclaimed.

Jedda looked on in surprise as Tin Nyanko was knocked down to the floor and then was hit by a mysterious blast.

"What the hell was that?!" Sailor Tin Nyanko demanded.

Seconds later, Sheila appeared. "I knew I should have stuck around. I had a feeling something was going on here!"

"Good to see you, Sheila!" Minako exclaimed.

"I think you Sailor Guardians should take care of this intruder!" Sheila suggested.

"Right!" Usagi nodded.

"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"

"Jupiter Oak Evolution!"

"Mars Flame Sniper!"

"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"

"World Shaking!"

"Deep Submerge!"

"Dead Scream!"

"Silence Glaive Surprise!"

The combined attacks knocked Sailor Tin Nyanko to the nearby wall but it didn't give her much damage otherwise.

"That's a pretty good start to weaken her." Hotaru stated.

"Maybe I should finish her." Rick started to make a move. However, Jedda grabbed his arm. "Rick, no! If you use your attacks again, you might fully transform into a monster."

"Jedda's right, Rick." Mandrake nodded in agreement. "You need to lay low."

"By Jungle law, the Ghost who walks calls forth the power of ten tigers!"

Moments later, the Phantom tried to defeat Sailor Tin Nyanko using his powerful ability. It proved useful at first but then she over powered him and pummeled him to the floor.

"Father!" Jedda exclaimed in shock.

"I'll be taking Rick Gordon now." Sailor Tin Nyanko looked over at the cell nearby.

"You can try," Mandrake glanced over and proceeded to make an illusion to try and confuse his opponent, "but which Rick is which?"

Sailor Tin Nyanko growled and used a blast of energy to cut off the illusion and then knocked down Mandrake to the floor.

"Moon Gorgeous Medi…" Chibiusa tried to launch an attack but Sailor Tin Nyanko blocked the attack and used a blast of energy to slam her across the room.

"Chibi Moon!" Usagi exclaimed.

"What'll we do?" Minako asked in worry. "We can't let them hurt Jedda or take Rick!"

Jedda braced herself and walked in front of the cell Rick was in as Sailor Tin Nyanko prepared to lunge towards them, making a cat like shriek in the process.

"Rick!" Flash exclaimed in shock.

"Jedda!" the Phantom added.

"Watch out!" Rei shouted.

Suddenly, a streak of red hit Sailor Tin Nyanko and caused her to fall to the floor. Jedda looked to see a rose on the floor which was now between her and her opponent.

Then she looked up seeing Mamoru across the room.

"Tuxedo Mask!" Jedda exclaimed in awe.

"You made it just in time!" Usagi added.

"Your intents on using Rick Gordon for his powers is something that cannot be allowed!" Mamoru told Sailor Tin Nyanko. "Sailor Galaxia will not have her way as these plans to obtain the Quasanite powers stop now!"

"Says you!" Sailor Tin Nyanko snarled before unleashing a blast of energy at him. Mamoru managed to dodge the attack. The next move, he wasn't so lucky as Sailor Tin Nyanko caught him off guard and slashed him across the chest and pummeled him to the floor. He landed at the controls which turned off the barriers to the cell Rick was in.

"Oh no, Tuxedo Mask!" Usagi exclaimed in shock as she and the other Sailor Guardians hurried to his side. "Hang in there!"

Jedda was shocked to see that Mamoru was bleeding from the blow of that attack. This isn't good. She injures Mamoru and now Rick is in danger of becoming a monster!

"Since I injured my latest opponent," Sailor Tin Nyanko prepared to launch her another attack, "I shall now take his star seed to Lady Galaxia along with Rick Gordon and his powers!"

"Rick, run!" Ami shouted.

"Mamo no!" Usagi cried in worry.

Suddenly a set of blasts knocked her down to the floor, which brought everyone by surprise.

"That is quite enough!" barked a familiar voice. Everyone turned in surprise to see Hadea with two of her guards in tow. Sailor Tin Nyanko hissed in response.

"Hadea!" Minako exclaimed in surprise.

"Mother?!" Jedda added.

Sailor Tin Nyanko snarled, "Who the hell is she?"

Within moments, she vanished out of the room.

"Wait!" Haruka shouted. "Come back here!"

"We'll track her down." Setsuna assured her teammate. "I know she will come back."

Hadea knelt down to Mamoru with blood on his chest from the attack.

"Can you help him?" Usagi asked.

Hadea lifted her hands and then Mamoru started to glow, putting the Sailor Guardians by surprise and then moments later relief. Moments later, the wound that he had on him vanished. Jedda sighed with relief, knowing that he was going to be okay.

"He will be okay now." Hadea assured the group.

"Thank goodness." Chibiusa replied as she and Usagi knelt next to him as he was stirring. He opened his eyes and looked at the two girls. "Usako? Chibiusa?"

"It's all good now." Usagi assured him.

"What brings you here Hadea?" Rei asked.

"Aside from helping us with the enemy." Makoto added.

"I had a feeling something was happening so I came here." Hadea told the group. "There is something else I need to tell you."

"What would that be?" Michiru asked.

"I will be heading towards the Diamond Kingdom in the Netherworld." Hadea announced. "There had been conflict going in regards to the current ruler Queen Valeris as she believes in conquest."

Jedda perked up, knowing about what her mother had been dealing with for quite sometime shortly after being reformed. She had mentioned this Diamond Queen Valeris trying to conquer her Golden Kingdom. She was surprised that a war was about to happen between the two kingdoms of the Netherworld.

"Should Jedda or any of us be able to help you?" Minako asked.

"I am afraid this is a matter that I must deal with by myself." Hadea shook her head. "I would ask Jedda to help but you guys currently have this situation happening and there's also her pregnancy and I do not wish to risk it at this time."

"So you just came here for a moment?" the Phantom asked, giving her an untrusting glance. "As well as to only make that announcement?"

"I wouldn't put it that way." Usagi replied. "She saved Mamo's life."

"So that's why you made that offer for me to be the new Golden Queen of the Netherworld besides keeping Rick safe." Jedda spoke up.

"What?" the Phantom looked on in surprise.

"Precisely." Hadea nodded. "However, you should deal with your current situation first before making your decision. After both of situations are taken care of, you can make your decision then."

Jedda nodded.

"We wish you luck in defeating the Diamond Queen Valeris." Hotaru spoke up.

"And I wish all of you luck in getting Rick Gordon cured." Hadea nodded before vanishing from sight.

Jedda sighed. She looked down, touching her stomach. While glad Hadea was willing to keep her and her babies safe, she wished that she had been able to fight against this Diamond Queen. She also hoped that she was able to defeat her.

"Hadea made you an offer to be the new queen of the Netherworld?" Minako asked.

"Yes." Jedda answered. "It's something to keep Rick safe."

"There needs to be another alternative than you taking Hadea's place at the Netherworld!" the Phantom exclaimed.

"We shouldn't worry about that right now." Setsuna spoke up. "Our concerns right now are for Rick."

"Rick?!" Flash exclaimed in shock. "Where is he?!"

Everyone turned around to find that Rick was not in the cell that was opened.

"He must have gotten out when that cat brat attacked us!" LJ exclaimed.

"We have to find Rick before it's too late!" Minako told the others. "Not only is that Sailor Guardian after him but Cathleen as well as Ming."

"We will inform the princess at once!" Seiya announced. "She should have the antidote by now!"

Jedda nodded as the Sailor Starlights vanished from sight.

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

Rick groaned in agony. He managed to make a run for it after Sailor Tin Nyanko damaged the controls to the cell that he was in. It was surely a stupid idea to blast a hole in the wall nearby and because of that, there was no telling how far along he was in his metamorphosis. He knew it wasn't going to be long now.

"Ugh! I can't believe I used my powers like that!" Rick exclaimed, frustrated. "Just to get away from that so called kitty Sailor Guardian!"

He felt another surge of pain and knew that this was it. "No! I can't… let it… end this way."

Rick moaned as he felt himself black out. Is this it? Am I becoming that monster?

-Sailor-Moon-Defenders-

Sailor Tin Nyanko looked around the cliff side. She may have failed in getting a star seed, at least for the time being, but she was determined to bring Rick Gordon to Lady Galaxia.

"Oh why don't you come out already?" she called out. "It is pointless to hide. I will find you one way or another and I will bring you to Lady Galaxia!"

Suddenly, she felt herself falling backwards. She quickly landed on her feet and heard a strange growling noise. "What the hell?!"

Sailor Tin Nyanko gasped upon seeing what appeared to be a seven-foot creature with beige skin with long black hair and vicious red eyes.

"Galactica…" she tried to unleash an attack, only to be knocked to the ground by the creature.
